Feminism originated in the Republican Party. The Democrats co-opted it and corrupted it, as they always do

Hey Anon memer, with memes this great, pls.identify in the future. Good credit should be given where credit is due! 👍 UPVOTED

Feminism is NOT a bad thing. It simply means women should have the same rights as men. Liberals want women to be superior to men. Love this meme.

As a woman who knows more than my fair share of feminists, I resent their visions of a female dominated society and the nastiness toward women who don't tow their line of b.s.Then there is the hypocrisy that shows in the MeToo movement; which has portrayed women as mere victims that have to be constantly socially coddled against their perceived views of the inherently "savage" male.

I think the woman with the gun projects strength while the woman in the va**na suit is projecting victimhood.

For $1000 the conservative feminist might show you her gun.

The liberal feminist would show you her pecker.

The use of va**na imagery to promote feminism is transphobic.

Why are you telling the memer... It is the feminist movement who promotes these images. Do you not support the feminist movement?

Holding a gun up to be a femenist does not make me support femenism

Feminism originated at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 and it was non-partisan. Indeed neither party really cared much for women's rights at first. Feminists/suffragettes had to campaign for 70+ years after Seneca Falls before they won the right to vote.

It is true that the Republican Party used to have more "progressive" tendencies (see: Teddy Roosevelt). However, as a matter of fact Woodrow Wilson (D) was in office when the 19th Amendment passed, and he gave it his support.

There have been many developments since the 19th Amendment. What's been consistent is that conservatives of either party have always opposed feminism. Modern-day Republicans have taken a firm anti-feminist stance in the culture wars.

To state the obvious: brandishing a gun doesn't make you a feminist.

Supporting abortion rights and equal pay and gender discrimination laws and paid maternity leave and such does.

If you walk around in a va**na suit, then you might look ridiculous but it's likely that you do care about such things.

Actually, the only problem conservatives have is with abortion. Equal pay for equal work? No brainer. If you look at the long sordid history of abortion you would realize that it is racist in nature. Margaret Sanger, the patron saint of abortion called African Americans (among others) human weeds that needed to be plucked up root and stem. She was invited to speak to the Women of the Ku Klux Klan, and when she did, they liked what she said so much they invited her back eight or nine more times. This is historical record. Not only did Sanger promote abortion in minority communities, she also was in favor of forced sterilization of them. Adolph Hitler praised Sanger for her work in Eugenics but ultimately her ways were too slow and he went for a more drastic approach. Fast forward to today. Blacks make up 11% of the population but account for 36% of abortions. Whites, on the other hand make up 65% percentish of the population but only account for 33% of abortions. 51% of black pregnancies are terminated by abortion. More than half. It's been target marketed by those "wonderful human servants", the abortion providers. Check and see where the majority of Planned Parenthood clinics are located. Hint, it's not near affluent white neighborhoods. If Blacks had not been aborting 51% of their offspring, today they would be almost 20% of the population. But their population has been controlled between 11% and 13% since Roe VS Wade. The book, Freakanomics makes the claim that abortion has lowered the crime rate. When you know what I just showed you, then you have to realize the the book Freakanomics is also a very racist book. It makes the assertion that because of abortion the crime rate has gone down. They make an assumption that blacks are criminals. That is racist. Since blacks have 36% of the abortions, the highest percentage of any race. You can connect the dots. If you want to know why the crime rate in the black community is so high, by the way, look no further than LBJ's Great Society. The laws they passed during that time where not only the president but also congress were Democrat, they created the Housing Act of 1967 which basically was a Jim Crow law with lipstick and it led to the dissolution of the black family. I don't care which color of skin you have, boys need fathers. If they don't have a positive male role model they will seek a strong male role model. When you take the father out of the home, boys gravitate to gangs.

Girls need fathers, too.

Not all conservatives are against abortions. Stop being such a moral hypocrite. I can also say bad things about the left if you want: They demonize anyone who has guns, support taxation, support safe spaces, are against freedom of speech, want everything to be woke, and spamming Let people enjoy things. There you have it.

I think you meant to reply to Bascombe.

Oh ok

The black crime rate is directly tied to the dissolution of the black family. When blacks voted for Republicans, 75% give or take of black children came from intact families. Today, after fifty years of voting for Democrats only about 25% of black children come from intact families. I am saying this as an independent because, I think the democratic party is evil (not democrats themselves, just the party) but I also think the Republicans are weak. The Republicans are weak because the allowed the Democrats to hijack Civil Rights, the Women's movement and the Environmental movement. The Democrats have no ideas of their own, they hijack good ideas from Republicans and then turn it inside out to make it ugly. If Republicans had been strong, we'd have been energy independent decades ago and our fossil fuel use would have been negligible. But the Democrats are afraid of nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is the cleanest, safest, cheapest energy that exists. It has the least environmental impact. Everyone is afraid of it though because maybe we'll make bombs or something stupid like that. In the eighty years of nuclear energy, less than a thousand people have died because of it. You don't get to count the people in Hiroshima or Nagasaki because the type of reactor that makes bomb material is very different from the reactor that makes electricity. Compare that with coal. The WHO claims that 800,000 people a year die of coal pollution. Wind and solar are expensive and the environmental impact studies surrounding them are weak even if they exist at all. To power the world with solar, you would need a solar reservation the size of Texas. To power the world with wind you would need a wind farm the size of Spain. But I rant. The Democrats destroy everything they touch. They are political locusts. The Republicans are weak willed children.

I am probably saying too much because I am starved for human companionship because of lockdowns from COVID and just looking for any excuse to communicate with other human beings. Please Kyliealt, don't think anything I have said is meant as an attack on you.

While I would like to see more technological forms of power generation, Fukushima Daiichi is an example of why we should be wary of nuclear power.

Yeah, Fukushima was a bad idea. It was an older model reactor built in a known geologically unstable region. That accident happened because of hubris. Engineers and scientists who thought they knew better. Reactor technology has become so much safer since the reactors at Chernobyl and Fukushima were built. Triple redundancy safety and security systems. Failsafes at every level. Even so, in 80 years of nuclear power, the minimal loss of lives compared to coal cannot be ignored

I will say this about the 19th Amendment. The amendment came up for a vote four times with the Democratic congress and failed all four times. Then the Republicans gained control in 1918 of both houses of congress and it was one of the first pieces of legislation they passed. At that point, Woodrow Wilson couldn't have opposed it even if he had wanted to. He had been president since 1912 with a democratic congress. Why didn't he show his support the first four times it came up? That is a fair question. The Seneca Falls convention took place six years before the formation of the Republican party, so it's not really fair to blame them for not taking note. It's also not particularly fair to blame them for failing to work on suffrage when immediately after their guy got elected to the presidency the whole country was plunged into a vicious civil war by the other party. After that and the emancipation of the slaves and the voting rights for blacks, you are right, women's suffrage could have easily, and should have been piggybacked onto that or ratified alongside it. That's true. I'll grant that point. But it was the Republicans who finally did the right thing, not the Democrats. I am not arguing as a Republican, by the way. I think they are weak. I've been an independent since the mid 90's. I like the idea of the Republicans just not the reality of them. Republicans that I know have no problem with equal pay for equal work. Conservatives I know have no problem with abolishing gender discrimination. Most conservative people I know don't want the government telling businesses what to do, such as forced paid maternity leave. They do, however suggest that the free market should dictate that. If company A has no such leave but company B does, then company B would by default be able to hire the better qualified women. I don't know the answer to that one, I do chafe in my libertarianism about the government making such laws, but it isn't about women, rather it's about the government overreach. The big problem conservatives have with feminism is abortion. That's really the only thing the conservatives I know really disagree with.

Why didn't Wilson support women's suffrage immediately when entering office?

tl;dr: World War I, and the subsequent extension of the franchise to women by other allies including Britain, caused Wilson to evolve on women's suffrage and to give it his political backing.

Many presidents both Republican and Democrat between Seneca Falls to 1920 missed the same opportunity.

By the way, KylieAlt, thank you for being willing to engage in reasonable conversation. That is a skill that is lacking in today's society

I feel bad because I may not get around to responding to your every point here lol but thx

Woodrow Wilson had a severe stroke in office and his wife was his chief of staff for all practical purposes who relayed his “messages”. No one got to see him. MRS. Wilson supported woman’s sufferage and broadcast it as her demented husband’s position.

Woodrow Wilson didn't begin his term in office as a champion of women's rights, and he pretty much always remained a terrible racist, but WWI and the public service and courage many women showed during that war in roles such as nurses, ambulance drivers, telephone operators, etc. changed him:

"Yet the day after Wilson announced the 14 Points, his platform for peace, he reversed his long-standing opposition to a federal suffrage amendment. He reminded surprised congressmen that Britain had enfranchised women, as had more than a dozen other wartime Allies.

“'Are we alone to refuse to learn the lesson?' Wilson asked, 'Are we alone to ask and take the utmost that our women can give — service and sacrifice of every kind — and still say we do not see what title that gives them?”

"Wilson pleaded with Southern congressmen, who he knew risked their seats if they supported a federal amendment that trumped state election laws. He converted not a single one. Many denounced him."

What is this discussion for? This meme is pointing out how wearing a va**na suit is useless for your cause just as how wearing a costume of an endangered animal has no conservational value and yet your bringing stuff that has nothing to do with the subject. Its like the democrat are filled with people who try to act morally superior to anybody who has an opposing view.

Burh your overcomplicating yourself. This was just a joke and now your making an entire long answer. Bruh.

Not all conservatives are against abortions. Stop being such a moral hypocrite. I can also say bad things about the left if you want: They demonize anyone who has guns, support taxation, support safe spaces, are against freedom of speech, want everything to be woke, and spamming Let people enjoy things. There you have it. Also, wearing a va**na won't make people take you seriously. And victimizing yourself won't helkp either.

Va**nas or guns hmm dunno what is more feminine duhhh
